efficient Message Clerk of the late
House of Representatives, Mr.. Tbos.
B. Taylor, and will interest many of
our readers.
Hon. N. p. Wheeler was a visitor
to our borough yesterday, and made
the REPUBLICAN Office a pleasant call.
He reports business in and about
Hickory very active this season. The

town is being rapidly pushed forward,
and cars will be running over the
same in a short time.

champion, on Calumet course, Chicago,
in a three. mile race on Monday. And

championship, that's all.
Mrs. E. Cowan, wife of oar ven
erable friend, the editor of the Warren
Mail, died week before last after an
illness of several months, of cancerous
affection. Our heartfelt sympathy
goes out to the bereaved husband in
the loss of his faithful and devoted
life-partner, whose intelligent counsel
and loving kindness has lightened his
burdens through a long and happy
married life.
Senator Aliens Republican friends
of the State Senate conferred a very
high compliment upon him at the re-
cent adjournment of that body, by
making him chairman of the slate
committee two years hence. The vote
stood, Allen 81, Delamater 26, Watres
26, Taylor %, Rutan %. This is
recognition rarely given a new mem
ber, and attests Mr.. Aliens popularity
with his fellow Senators.
The borough schools closed on
Friday last. From all indications the
term just closed has been one of the
most successful for some time, and we
believe the patrons would, as a rule,
be well satisfied were the same efficient
corps of teachers engaged for the next
season. Three scholars, Roy Brow.
nell, VIM. Morrow aud Miss Zannie
Tate, were graduated from the ad
vanced room, passing very creditable
examinations.
Several of our citizens have been
the recipients of tasLily arranged
program of, and invitation to, a piano
recital for graduation by Miss Maud
Davis, to be given at the New Eng.
land Conservatory Of Music, Boston,
from which famous institution Miss
Davis will graduate to-day. Her
many friends and admirers will extend
congratulations upon the happy ter
mination of an unusually successful
musical course.

easy conviction. No one who has the
welfare of the public at heart, and
really desires the conviction and pun

as Haggerty and Wilson would growl
at such a paltry bill of expense. 1t
